Han Xiuyi, the fund manager of Morgan CSI A50 ETF, stated that the valuation of core assets in the A-share market may already be at historical lows, and in the future, more funds are expected to flow into the market through broad-based ETFs. The CSI A50 Index, while enhancing the pricing power of core assets in the A-share market, is expected to become another important target for domestic and foreign funds to allocate core assets in the A-share market.
Qian Jing, the fund manager of Ping An CSI A50 ETF, stated that on one hand, with the stabilization of the domestic economic cycle in 2024, the profitability advantage of leading assets in the A-share market is expected to become more prominent. Also, with major index stocks currently at relatively low levels, the potential of leading blue-chip stocks is expected to gradually unleash. On the other hand, from the recent increase in holdings by the "national team" and the continuous improvement of policy environment, market confidence is continuously strengthening. Investors can seize the opportunity for a new round of profit and valuation enhancement in 2024 by allocating core assets in the A-share market.
Data shows that the CSI A50 Index was officially released on January 2, 2024. The index adopts the standards of the Interconnection and introduces the concept of ESG investment. It selects the 50 securities with the largest market value as index samples. In terms of industry distribution, the CSI A50 Index includes more leading companies in new economic sectors, making it easier to capture new growth points in the Chinese economy. It is one of the few indices in the A-share market focusing on leading companies in the third-level sub-industry and with large market value representation in the index samples, poised to become a more balanced and representative new business card for core assets in the A-share market.
